Virtual Screen
In common remote control scenarios, the controlling device is usually equipped with multiple physical monitors, while the clientdevice has only one physical display. In traditional remote control mode, even when the controlling device uses a multi-monitor setup, the remote session is still limited to a single screen. As a result, users must frequently switch between windows on the same remote screen when performing multiple tasks, which reduces operational efficiency. This limitation becomes more apparent during long-term remote work, where users often need to handle both work-related tasks and personal matters simultaneously, and a single screen is no longer sufficient.
After enabling the AnyViewer Virtual Screen feature, users can expand multiple virtual screens within a remote session, significantly improving remote multitasking efficiency without adding any extra hardware.
For example, three virtual screens can be used at the same time:
Screen 1: Company business systems or remote work applications
Screen 2: File processing or information reference
Screen 3: Instant communication or personal tasks
Each virtual screen operates independently without interfering with others, greatly enhancing multitasking efficiency.
Preparation
Before using the Virtual Screen feature, please ensure the following:
AnyViewer is properly installed and running on both devices
A remote control session has been successfully established
The controlling account has permission to use the Virtual Screen feature, pro or above version can get this feacture
The controlled device is operating normally
Note: Virtual Screens are simulated by software and do not require additional physical monitors on the remote device.
Operation Steps
Step 1: Launch AnyViewer, connect to the target remote devic and establish a remote connection.
Step 2: Locate Screen-Vritual Screen option in the remote session, then you can create one or more virtual screens as needed.
AnyViewer currently supports up to 4 virtual screens, equivalent to adding four monitors to the remote device.
Step 3: Finally, you can now create blank virtual screens and switch between them freely.
- Run applications independently on each virtual screen.
- Assign different tasks to different virtual screens.
- Drag content from the physical Screen 1 to the far right and release; the content will be displayed on the virtual screen.
Screen 1 is the physical display, followed by the virtual screens you create. Virtual screen entries are listed below the physical screen in the order they were created. Example: Screen 2 (virtual), Screen 4 (virtual), Screen 5 (virtual).
This feature allows users to build multiple independent desktop environments, improving work efficiency and workflow clarity.
Summary
The Virtual Screen feature offers a flexible and efficient solution for remote work, IT maintenance, and technical support, such as breaking the limitation of a single remote screen, Providing a true multi-screen remote experience, improving productivity for multitasking scenarios. No additional hardware required.
